What affects the price in Trekenning
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Trekenning
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Trekenning
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Trekenning, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Trekenning questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
